Surfing in Ecuador

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Surfing the Punta Carnero Beach in Ecuador

Ecuador has many beaches for surfing:[1][2] the coast of Ecuador is 2,237 km (1,390 miles) long. Surfable waves are available in Ecuador year-round,[3] and surfers enjoy the mild year-round weather, especially in the northern region where the weather conditions attract many surfers from all over the world.[4] Within this part of South America, Ecuador's neighbors Chile and Peru[1] also offer great surfing. Many surfers in Ecuador use a protective wetsuit. Surf tourism is very important to the local economy, and the beaches offer significant enjoyment because of top quality waves combined with affordable prices for lodging and food compared to other surf destinations. There's also a national marine reserve off the coast, which has a gigantic whale population.[5]
